Story (5/10):
Well, this game has a poor story. At first it looks cool and all because you're the skater that's just come into town and shit happens and all that crap but after about 4 minutes, it gets boring. It's just things like 'DUDE THERE'S THIS TOTALLY RAD RAMP, GO SHRED IT' and 'THAT DUDE STOLE YOUR SHIT, GO AGGRO KICK AND KNOCK THE BASTARD OVER'.

Controls (8/10):
The controls are amazing, that's probably because it's on the Wii.
There is a function that when you get in the air and press (c) and [b] you go slow motion and you can control the kickflipping and such with motion of the Wii remote and nunchuk. This is very fun, however it is very hard to get used to and that's why it isn't a 10/10.

Graphics (7/10):
The graphics are good, for a Wii game. They show all the details of the flips when you do a 'Nail the Trick' (slow motion) and all other kinds of tricks in that mode. The storylines aren't half bad either. BUT because it's the Wii, you're gonna' expect it to not be up to scratch.

Sound/Music (10/10):
Brilliant. Music wise, you can go into the music menu and choose a playlist, or you can have it on random etc/. I myself dont' like to hear the board hitting the floor and such very much, so I keep it on low volume and have the music really high volume.

Replayability (5/10):
Well, the problem with this game is, it takes a long time of you doing the same tasks over and over before you actually get anywhere in the game. Therefore if you'd completed it you'd probably leave it at that.

Game-play (7.5/10):
The game play is good because of the handling and such but as I said, the game strings out and you end up doing the same exact tasks over and over again just to get a little bit through the game.

Overall Score (7/10):
This game is worth buying but I'd suggest that if you don't like doing the same things over and over, don't buy it. You'll probably get pissed off and sell it for another game. Renting it however, would be great but you wouldn't get far unless you rented it for quite a while.
